I'm sure this have been covered, although after doing a couple of days of research I can't seem to find the answer, so sorry in advance if this has been gone though already.
I'm on cyanogenmod kernel version 3.4.66-cyanogenmod-geaa7c91 with android version 4.3.1 and my dock doesn't work. won't charge or anything. While reading I found everyone had this issue when samsung upgraded to jellybean. So I assumed rooting-flashing was in order. I got it all done and still nothing. Also, galaxy s4 will not dock to it either. I'm guessing my dock might be faulty, although as a new unit I'd imagine it should work fine.
Do I need to run a different kernel/rom? Revert back to ICS stock samsung crap?
I'm not really worried about which rom/kernel I'm running. I'm just trying to dock this to my tv and run xbmc from it. It's a spare phone and I figured this was a better idea than buying a cheap computer to do the job, also much smaller.
If someone could answer my question here, or point me in the correct direction that would be great.
Thanks in advance.

Hi guys, wonder can anyone help me. I purchased a dock for the G Tablet from a company in Chine a few months ago. I only got round to trying it out recently and the results where not good.
The dock charges the G Tablet when the PSU is connected to it, but that is all that it does. The USB port does not work, the pens light up but the G Tab does not see them.
The network port does not do any thing when a cable is plugged in.
The HDMI also does not do anything.
I have tried it with several different versions of Android including the T&T that was on the G Tab originally.
Am I missing something ? Do I need to install certain software of certain Abroid version ?.
It wouldn't usually bother me but the dock cost me over £35 and I do not want to purchase another until I am sure this one does not work. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
PS Keep up the great work, I love this site and have tried almost every new OS that has been put on it
No specific software should have to be installed. It's supposed to just work, so I'm thinking that it's bad hardware.

it2Steve did a very detailed review of this dock. The thread has been around for almost a year and has a lot of information if you take some time to read up on it.

Sorry in advance if this is not the right place to ask for help. Literally going cross-eyed in the forum trying to find the answer.
I bought what was suppose to be a Malata T9 tablet from,... you guess, China, in hopes of selling them online. They are close to the specs on the Galaxy Tab 10.1.
It is a knock off, not a Malata.
It is a rk29sdk model
Android version 3.01
Kernel version 2.6.32.27 [email protected]_linux #193
Build number rk29_gingerbread_v2.10.00_20111204
I also have a Galaxy Tab 10.1 which I successfully rooted, installed the Hulu fix and adhoc wifi fix. Works great! Why the tablet manufacturers don't put these on the stock tablets boggles my mind.
So I tried the adhoc wifi fix on the Malata knock off and pretty much bricked it.
Lost the wifi files and it won't shut down without using the reset.
Trying to find a comparable or better rom to flash it. Manufacturer is not helping.
Any suggestions much appreciated except tossing it. It was pretty nice before I *f ed* it up.
Thanks
Hi all
I hope that I am in the right place.
I currently have a MyTouch phone but was in China last week and saw these Galaxy S3 knockoffs and figured I would buy one.
I am now back in the States and the Galaxy works quite well but there are a few things I cannot get to work and was hoping someone could help.
Firstly the data connection from my service provider seems quite slow compared to the MyTouch.
Secondly the GPS does not seem to work. I have tried a few different combinations but no luck. I have enabled and disabled the Google location in the settings to no avail. I have left the phone on for more than 15 minutes trying to get a GPS signal but still no luck.
I know that the phone is a knockoff and did not expect much but it sure does work faster than the MyTouch – apart from the GPS and data.
So my question is –
Is there a way to get it to work? Would it be possible to reload the software on the phone with one from an original Galaxy? I am not sure of the terminology but does that mean I would need to flash the phone or root the phone – if this is the case, how easy is it to do and would it brick my phone?
Where would I get the firmware from to do so?
Any (detailed) help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

As far as i know these SGS3 knockoffs or clones do not have the same hardware as the SGS3 so you can't use custom SGS3 roms.
This forum is of no use to you unfortunately, do a search for your model on Google and you should find some forums that might help you

Hi, I bought this super cheap Android phone for my daughter, for Christmas:
Star N800 Mini
I don't know if the specs have any relevance to my following question but you can find it on Amazon, I'd link it but I haven't made ten posts yet. :silly:
I was wondering if there's any chance of finding a Jelly Bean ROM that might work on it? As far as I'm aware, the ROM probably has to be specific to this device, right? In which case, I can't even find a website for the company who makes it, "Star"
If it is possible, I used to have a ZTE Blade so I have a slightly dated idea of how to go about flashing the ROM and will probably be able to get by, but obviously, I have no idea if it's even an option at the moment.
Thanks a lot,
Mark.

Hi Everyone,
I am new to this forum and have a questions about a Samsung Galaxy Note N717 that I am using at working to test a new app we have been approached with. The Note was bought in Korea and is a Genuine Samsung Galaxy Note N717 LTE.
It is running Android 2.3 and We need it to run Android 4.0 at least for the application to work.
From the research I have done, I have seen other having similar issues upgrading the software. I recently had a friend who is a Samsung Qualified Repair Agent try to install the latest software however it has crash his PC and now the Handset.
I need to get his phone working again with Android 4.0 on it. Can anyone suggest anywhere near London, UK that can do it? Or provide me with the correct details of how to do it, like a walkthrough almost. I am fairly tech savvy and have worked with mobiles for the past 7-8 years but his has totally confused me.
PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!

I am sure this is way out of my league and I myself cannot provide a solution. it is very possible that the device has been bricked. I am US based and the only fix I am aware of here is called a J-TAG which costs about $50 here and takes about a week.
whether that is the final diagnosis or not? im sure someone else will chime in.
but isn't part of the solution knowing what you did wrong? I don't think you provided enough information.
maybe you need to check again your device for what it is...........I ran a google search for n717 myself (which is what you should do) and the main result in that search is an address so I don't know.
also tried variances of 717 and found everything from flight path software to medication.
I originally thought maybe you had a Canadian version bought in Korea ???
anybody is going to need more info..........
what phone is ?
software currently?
what did you try to flash?
was what you tried to flash for the right model phone?
can you get download mode?
does phone even vibrate?
at this point could be anything from wrong software to something as simple as a stuck power button
gonna have to narrow things down a bit........if you don't know what you did, how is anybody else?
A Note N717 is a knockoff I believe. It is not a samsung phone and will not run samsung ROMs.
Thanks for your help
The phone is a Samsung N717 Note, the software was Gingerbread 2.3 until Samsung tried to reinstall the software. it has now crashed the device. As mentioned I need the latest version of android or better than 2.3 at least. I currently do not have the phone so cannot try vibrate or download mode.
Under the battery it is either a n717 or i717, it is a LTE device with an aerial that can come out.
What can zendesk do for me?
I would really like to get this resolved, from the research I have done it can be sorted but it is beyond my capabilities.
Thanks

well which is it??? I717 or N717. kind of important.
and if Samsung TRIED to re-install software and then it crashed, it would then be their responsibility. I would be asking them where your new phone is.
if you don't make them responsible, then I am sorry to say, what kind of chump are you?
either you are not telling us everything, or you did not tell Samsung everything.
whats the DEALIO ?
